Paris Hilton: I’m not that smart
In probably the least shocking celebrity statement of the decade, Paris Hilton has admitted that she’s “not like that smart”.
The confession was made when the star helped police officers with an investigation into a burglary at the house of Hollywood porn baron Joe Francis.
The fact that scrawny horse-faced creature convinced the world she’s a sex symbol proves to me that she has some brain activity. Like maybe psychokinesis.
At least she listens to her Dad?
“So if you pay somebody, then you’re gonna be paying for the rest of your life.
“My dad always taught me. They’ll keep the tape anyway.”
There’s something very appealling about her, nonetheless. Aside from her outward physical attractiveness, she has an inner beauty trying to get out.
Surprise, surprise… 😉
She’s cute in that drunk and smacked in the head kind of way.

Just like you conservatives like ’em.
Why is anything she does news?
I did not click the link, I don’t even know what she looks like, although it’s impossible not to hear or read the name (especially here), and I’m not exactly sure what she does. Singer, actress, super bimbo, all of the above?
#8 – Dude… Just click on the damn link… Don’t be one of those people who take pride in not knowing what’s popular… That’s actually more annoying than those people who take pride in knowing everything that’s popular.
But since you ask… She’s just a silver spoon brat who used daddy’s (her name ain’t Hilton for nothin’) money to buy some fame. She is famous for being famous. While she has had a TV show, and been in a movie, and released an album, she’s actually amazingly not good at any of those things.
I decided not to comment….because everything I thought of saying was just to damn sexist.
#8, She is as good an example of talent and marketing that George Bush is. There is nothing spectacular about either but somehow we got stuck with them.
Playing dumb is just an act for Hilton. Don’t be fooled. She’s a blooming PR genius.
Before you challenge me, answer this: how many of YOU can earn nearly 400 large for showing up at a party? Until you pull down that kind of cash for doing next to nothing, don’t claim you’re smarter than she is.
>>Last year, the respected Forbes magazine estimated her annual earnings at $8.5 million, and you can bet it’s increased since then. Such is her ever spiralling fame, and our fascination with it, that she now commands $390,000 and up simply to turn up at a party (she was being paid $1.3 million to fly to Majorca recently to launch a new champagne in a can). Stay tuned, she says, for Paris make-up, skincare, hair products, energy drinks and, inevitably, hotels.

Say no more 😉
On MTV she was able to identify whether various luxury items were real or fake, like a Rolex watch and a designer purse.

They don’t run as fast that way.

Whenever I point out how much I dislike the music of (insert vapid pop star here) I get reminded that said star, “makes more money than you do.”
Bullshit.
Stephen Gould, Noam Chomsky, and (the late) Carl Sagen were all demonstrably smarter than Paris Hilton and they didn’t make 400K for showing up at a party.
Paris has a few things going for her. She was already rich (apparently by birthright). She is traditionally attractive. She was already famous (as the hier to an amazing fortune of a tremendously famous family).
Here’s the trick. If you can show me an average girl of moderate to pedestrian talent who gains remarkable wealth and fame, (I don’t know, let’s say Madonna) then I’ll show you a smarter girl… And she’s still an idiot next to people who are actually smart, like George Will, Steven Brill, or John Dvorak.
Intelligence and money are far less intrinsicly connected than people would think.
#9: Didn’t need to click on the link, got all I needed, and more, from right here. As far as taking pride in my ignorance of things popular (I don’t, it’s just an over the hill Alpha thing) judging by whats popular these days (and that’s mainstream popular) I’d be justified.
Of course, the term popular is highly subjective, I’m fairly knowledgeable about the series (and movie) Firefly, but don’t ask me about the current Hollywood hottie. The last one really turned me on was Rosie Perez, in “White Men Can’t Jump”.
